[PATCH] mm: do not allocate page->ptl dynamically, if spinlock_t fits to long

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

In struct page we have enough space to fit long-size page->ptl
there, but we use dynamically-allocated page->ptl if
size(spinlock_t) > sizeof(int). It hurts 64-bit architectures with
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, where sizeof(spinlock_t) == 8, but it
easily fits into struct page.
